Raya 2013

I haven't been updating my blog post for more than a month now. For those who have been on my facebook friend list will know that my father passed away a week before Syawal, hence our raya this year is a low-key affair. This year raya was at my grandma’s place. My mom spent most of her time there, only going back to her own place at night to sleep. This raya, many of my aunts, uncles and cousins came back for raya at kampung. Two families had to book a homestay and a hotel room because my grandma’s place was full.

This year raya, the girls’ baju ready made from Vietnam, the boys’- only material from Vietnam, tailoring done here.

We did not even manage to get a full family photos of everybody who were at grandma’s like last time partly because rumah nenek kena serang with relatives- it was not non-stop but they came in batches, about 30-40 people per batch, sampai tak cukup tempat duduk, mainly to visit my grandma… Alhamdulillah moga murah rezeki nenek. For those who have not been celebrating raya at kampong for quite some time were surprised to see that many people turned up.

Our cousin turn up wearing baju pengantin for raya!

Second raya, we made our way to Kuala Pilah- DH’s atuk place and finally to my in-laws.

Third raya, baru dapat buat photo session and raya to DH’s relatives.

After the raya break I have been busy baking red velvet cake for orders and also to bring them to the open house that we went. Never have I bake red velvet cakes this large quantity before. Again, Alhamdulillah for the rezeki.
